Inspiration

Acclaimed artistic director and florist extraordinaire Jeff Leatham has worked with fashion houses, dignitaries and celebrities. Most recently he turned his hand to carpets – and not just any carpets but those that grace the most distinguished abodes across the globe, created with know-how passed down from ancestral carpet-makers. Jeff Leathamʼs mesmerising Bloom collection for Tai Ping features 14 richly saturated wool and silk rugs, with bold, gradated hues – a hallmark of Tai Ping – forming pleasing shapes that burst forth beneath the feet.
